Christmas Festival

Friday December 13th from 12pm

Families are welcome to join us for our 2024 Christmas Festival. Bring a plate of food to share and join in on our range of Christmas activities.  Christmas is a time for families to spend quality time having fun together!  We encourage everyone who can, to donate to a local charity that supports families - this can be a cash donation, or donations of gifts that can be distributed to families in need at Christmas time!

50th Anniversary!

Sat Oct 12th 2024 we celebrated 50 years of preschool - a huge occasion for community education.  

We were joined by our Mayor, Tory Whanau, and Wellington Central MP, Tamatha Paul, along with Councillor Iona Pannett, preschool families, kaiako from past and present, Governance committee members from the past and present and local supporters who have had a connection to preschool over the years!

We were generously donated a cake by AroBake   https://arobake.co.nz/ to cut and share - we thank our local bakery for their support!

We had Charlie come along with their facepainting - excitedly taken up by both children and adults! Check out their instagram  @face.paintforcoolkids 

Delicious kai was generously donated by Mamba Cafe   https://cafemamba.co.nz/  Helen Baxter and preschool families.

A big thank you also to the Holloway Road Inmates band - many of whom are past parents of preschool, who came and entertained us with some music on our special day!

A fantastic celebration of 50 years serving the needs of whanau in our local community!
